GENEVA — Steve Bannon, the contentious conservative and former chief strategist for President Trump, will give his first speech in Europe this week to discuss the global implications of populism.His speech set for Tuesday in Zurich has already sold out and has drawn criticism from some groups.

Bannon, who resigned in January as executive chairman of the far right Breitbart News, was invited here by the weekly Swiss magazine Die Weltwoche, whose editor-in-chief, Roger Koeppel, is a conservative member of the parliament.

Bannon "played a crucial role in getting one of the most unconventional U.S. presidents in history elected,” Koeppel said, explaining why Bannon was invited.“People are curious,” Koeppel said. “Probably not the hardcore left wing, but interest is huge from a broad variety of people, including the business community. And just the other day a group of surgeons also asked to attend.” Koeppel said that even though Bannon was “demonized” in the media, “people want to form their own judgment on this controversial personality.”

He did not disclose how much Bannon is being paid for his appearance.
